New GPS: Thompson GPS 420 and GPS 280

Thomson, is entering the GPS/Sat-Nav race in Europe with a couple of models this fall. The GPS 420 is a wide screen format 4.2 inch screen GPS that should sell for around €500. No news on wheather or not it will offer video capability, but it would be a shame if it did not, considering that nice widescreen it has there. It's not going to win any design contests, but hey, the screen looks nice.

The other GPS unit is the GPS 280 with a 2.8 inch screen that will price in around €400. The GPS 280 is apparently designed for auto and pedestrian use. Anyway, the two devices are packing the almost standard and required SiRF star III chipset for high accuracy and low power consumption.
